Same, ahem, 'Ejaculator', except we can't get Virgin anyway here

Can anyone tell me what Sky broadband is like? Reliable?

I have to go ADSL, and am considering getting all 3 services from Sky. (Currently with Virgin for Broadband/phone), my contract ends beginning of next month, so am looking for a good deal.

I had sky adsl for a couple of years and now on their fibre. Never had a problem.

They don't, it's a Virgin name.

Thanks. I think I will see what BT can offer me too.

You're right, they don't. It's been a very long day! I'm sure they called it something similar when I signed up for it though.

They generally use the same backhaul anyway so the only difference is who sends you the bill.

Had my VM phone and tv removed and they were meant to come out on Tuesday to collect the boxes I have but text on Monday saying due to some sort of error they couldn't now collect them and I'd have to post them.

Pain in the !!!! as I've lost a days holiday as a result of it.

Anyone else have this problem with VM?

I emailed Virgin Media about a downgrade to my contract on my XL bundle package and obviously they told me to contact them via phone to sort something out.
I think! I actually found the most helpful Virgin Media adviser as she directed me on what I am actually paying for that I do not use.
Thanks to her I found out that not only can I save £31.85 a month but also this month it's only going to cost me around £60 as I have a saving on my record somewhere £28.67 so that will come out as well which is an even bigger bonus.
The best thing was she said call back any time when I need to downgrade again.. never met someone so helpful. :cheesy:

evanjonesaber -also be aware that you will be charged a cease fee by Sky as they will pass on the BT Openreach charge for disconnecting your b/band at the exchange -this is standard with (almost) all ISPs.

Does anyone know how much they charge?

I'm ADSL and currently with VM for BB/Phone, and would like to go over to Sky.
